Despite off-field distractions, all eyes are on the field at noon ET / 5 PM local — ESPN’s broadcast will bring the drama stateside. This isn’t just a game; it’s a statement for Belichick’s second season and the Tar Heels’ future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
